There is an .env file where you can find a var with the value „prod“. Change it ton“dev“ and you are in the development mode and you will get a Symfony error note, with a lot of information. ---

You cannot register any domain. You can only register the domain your shop is running at. And do not try to register localhost. It must be a valid top level domain. But you can skip the registration part if you do not need access to the shopware store. ---

No it does not. A domain points to a server (ip 4 or 6). The server Apache or nginx redirects the request to the document root. DNS: domain.tld points to server x.y.z Server x.y.z.: request for domain.tld points to document root /public ---
